Horestail looked identical this weekend to your pictures from last year Rob. Breaking trail on the way there combined with the full sun was rough until the tramway flattened out towards the top. We climbed all day on Sat and had the place to ourselves. Ice is in kinda rough shape due to the recent snowfall and sun exposure; it was pretty aerated and the surface was like a snow cone, but still had a great time. We climbed Sun at roadside and it paid off getting there early due to the number of people that showed up and large guided parties. The ice was in much better shape in general, although very thin in the areas near the rocks.

Climbed on Chouinard falls yesterday. The Main Wall and Bard Harrington Wall had lots of cracks and looked pretty scary but the ice was still decent on Chouinard. In the afternoon, as it got warmer, big chunks of ice started to com down from the left side of Chouinard onto the boulders near the rescue litter, which was a little scary when taking a rest, but otherwise it was a fun day of climbing. The snow was very soft on the hike in and even with snowshoes we broke through in one spot. While this is probably the last week of the water ice season, it's kinda fun to climb in such warm conditions.
